Steroidogenic tissues increase cholesterol synthesis and upregulate LDL receptors to meet the demand for steroid hormone production during physiological stress.

“clearly the your story genic tissues need cholesterol to make their steroid hormones B they reproductive organs or your adrenal cortex and in the situations Peters talking about cortisol it's a pretty useful or hormone to have around or other mineralocorticoids and things like that are so so clearly the those organs those tissues are going to need a lot of cholesterol pools to make all that so they turn up their synthesis rates so they make a lot of cholesterol but they would also tune up their hey let's gather some exogenous cholesterol so to speak so those cells would up regulate LDL receptors”
